Stop The Scandal: Obama Invited To Notre Dame Commencement

Obama is easily the most radical, pro abortion President, this nation has ever elected, having voted 4 times against a bill to protect babies born as a result of botched abortions, while he was in the IL legislature.

“November showed us that 40 years of American Catholic complacency and poor formation are bearing exactly the fruit we should have expected. Or to put it more discreetly, the November elections confirmed a trend, rather than created a new moment, in American culture.”

So why oh why would a Catholic University invite such a person to deliver their Commencement speech, when his core values, and sensibilities so profoundly conflict with the Catholic Church’s?

You can sign the petition against this scandal, here. There are over 17,000 signatures so far.

Betty, in response to your question I would like to say that there is a difference between those of us who are truly trying to live out our Catholic faith and those who have become Cafeteria Catholics — picking and choosing what to believe. Rest assured, this is not an act which represents the belief and true desire of all Catholics. You should simply be asking, “Why has Fr. Jenkins decided not to uphold our Catholic teaching. Why is he compromising?” Please do not lump all of us into one catergory.

I think that it is HIGHLY amusing that the Catholic church is SO “pro-life’ that they would allow a man who was a member of the Nazi party, a person who allowed a Holocaust denying priest a place in the faith AND a faith that signed the death warrant for millions of Jews and others deemed “undesireable” along with Adolph Hitler.

SO do NOT call yourselves “pro-life” for you may lie to yourselves, but you CAN NOT lie to the rest of the WORLD!!

Dear Rosie,
“Cafeteria Catholics — picking and choosing what to believe”
I love the disparaging remarks – “God forbid” that we should logically, rationally or intelligently pick ourr beliefs – surely blind faith has servered us better through mankinds history.

I do not believe Obama should have been invited to Notre Dame Commencement. I believe he has proven himself to be a national disgrace. And, I believe it will be a mark on the history of Notre Dame which will be difficult to erase. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any way to stop Obama’s visit, or the dis-honorary degree he will receive.
